Description:
Britain is one of the most secular nations in the world, a new poll in 10 countries finds.
Levels of religious belief and activity in the UK are far lower than in almost all other countries surveyed across the globe in a special poll undertaken for the BBC.

In January 2004 the independent opinion research company ICM conducted a survey of 10,000 people in 10 different nations for the BBC programme What the World Thinks of God.

The countries surveyed were the USA, UK, Israel, India, South Korea, Indonesia, Nigeria, Russia, Mexico and Lebanon.

Quote:
Levels of religious belief and activity in the UK are far lower than in almost all other countries surveyed across the globe in a special poll undertaken for the BBC. It reveals that only 46% of respondents in the UK said they have always believed in God - 27% less than the average.
Only Russia (42%) and South Korea (28%) were lower. Furthermore just 52% of UK respondents believed God (or a Higher Power) created the universe, compared to 85% in the USA, 83% in Mexico, 99% in Indonesia and 96% in Lebanon. The highest levels of belief are found in the poorer nations of Nigeria (98%), India (92%) and Indonesia (97%). However, the USA - the richest nation polled - has a very high level of belief. Only 13% of those polled in America said they found it hard to believe in God (a Higher power) when there was so much suffering in the world. Yet this compares to more than half (52%) of those polled in the UK - the highest of all the countries - and more than twice the average. The figures for Lebanon were 2% and Nigeria 12%. The survey found that only 19% of those in the UK said they would die for their God/beliefs.
This compares to 37% in Israel, 90% of those polled in Indonesia and Nigeria, and 71% in the USA and Lebanon.
